Regulation of the Human Hydroxysteroid Sulfotransferase (SULT2A1) by RORα and RORγ and Its Potential Relevance to Human Liver Diseases
5 Dec 2012
Abstract excerpt
The retinoid-related orphan receptors (RORs) were postulated to have functions in tissue development and circadian rhythm. In this study, we revealed a novel function of RORα (NR1F1) and RORγ (NR1F3) in regulating the human hydroxysteroid sulfotransferase (SULT2A1), a phase II conjugating enzyme known to sulfonate bile acids, hydroxysteroid dehydroepiandrosterone, and related androgens. A combination of promoter...
